Special Screening: ART & COPY

You’ve likely heard about it.  I’ve written about it.  And now, there’s a screening coming to Boise.

ART & COPY will be showing on Thursday, March 18th at the Egyptian Theatre in downtown Boise.  The film is presented locally by Drake Cooper, and proceeds from the screening will benefit the non-profit organization TrICA (Treasure Valley Institute for Children’s Arts).

For those not yet familiar with the film:

ART & COPY is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray, it reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time — people who’ve profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry.

Tickets can be purchased online, at the Egyptian Theatre’s box office, or at the door the day of the show.
